Abstract

In this article, we focus on the elderly who suffer from low vision. We seek to design Augmented reality electronic glasses to help the elderly who suffer from vision problems, which causes a limitation when performing their daily activities, so this can affect their development in society causing serious physical and emotional damage, so we used a set of scientific articles that analyzed the percentage of visual impairment. Technology has demonstrated on numerous occasions that it can be a great ally for the health and well-being of the elderly. In this work, the objective is to design electronic glasses to help the elderly improve their vision. The methodology used is Design Thinking, which thanks to the phases of this methodology helps us to understand, collect information about the problem and give a solution, the result obtained is a prototype of electronic glasses in which it will benefit adults who suffer from low vision. As for the case study, we will show the design of the mobile application and the detailed development of the prototype.

Highlights

The present research refers to the benefits of electronic glasses in elderly people, in the branch of ophthalmology as well
The low vision problems are a limitation of the visual capacity that seriously affects people, it prevents the patients to be able to carry out their daily activities in such a way that they do not manage to interact with the society [1]
The importance of research is to design electronic glasses, in order to improve the vision of people who suffer from problems of eye loss so that we can solve the problems of vision in older adults, over the years suffer eye damage which does not allow them to see clearly, so these glasses will help people to be able to have better near vision [2]

Summary

Introduction

The present research refers to the benefits of electronic glasses in elderly people, in the branch of ophthalmology as well. The importance of research is to design electronic glasses, in order to improve the vision of people who suffer from problems of eye loss so that we can solve the problems of vision in older adults, over the years suffer eye damage which does not allow them to see clearly, so these glasses will help people to be able to have better near vision [2] This way the electronic glasses have implemented a camera with high resolution hd generating great luminosity that manages to capture the environment and all that where the person directs the intelligent glasses, in such a way that the image managed to process an algorithm in which it was adjusted and modified to detail each one of the images identifying separately according to the degree of affection of each one of them [3]. According to the World Health Organization [5], the estimated number of people with this
